High pitch noise under load
« on: 30 March 2012, 07:36 »
Standard GTI.
If i put my foot down in second or third theres a high pitch noise between 3.5-5K revs like a high pitch resonance.
Anyone any idea what it maybe?
The problem is i don't always drive this car and i cannot remember it been there before.  :undecided:
I have read about similar with induction kits, They talk about boost leaks maybe the cause, is this a common problem? If so could i monitor it with VCDS to check.
Anyone any ideas or is this normal once its a couple years old?

Thanks  :undecided:
Geoff.

Mine didn't do that standard.

Wonder if the DV is split. They made a later version which was better but don't know if yours has it?

That will be the Mrs mate. Remove before driving and the problem should go away.  :wink:

That oil leak mine has seems to be coming from round were that actually bolts too from round the bolt / mounting surface nd its running down the pipe to were I can see it.
Only a slight weep but then again I have only used it twice since this month for only around 70 mile.

is that pipe the oil feed for the turbo? if so and its that which is leaking i wouldn't use the car.

it sounds like its a knackered DV from your previous posts though.

thats a warranty job but they're cheap anyway if you wanted to do the work yourself
